Commissioned for a retirement party. This cookie tower is 18.5" high and consists of a cake center and 2 cookies each side. Each side has columns w/ swords & shields on either side, a clock (set for party time) flanked by eagles, dentil moulding, three torches, and wreath/garland near the base. The top is (of course) supposed to be open for the bell to be seen and heard – I chose not to try that! The bottom are either a door (one side) or an alcove with bench. One long side broke in two during construction, and another cracked a bit, but I was able to repair them nearly invisibly.
I should also note, this was done by eye without a Kopykake.!
